I've read that it's a side effect, but is it a common one? I was thinking of buying creatine, but that's a turn off right there. Also, does creatine really make that much of a difference?
My goal is to gain as much weight as I can. I honestly don't care if I have fat in some places or whatever. I'm not looking for the muscular and ripped look. Just big, bulky, and strong. More like "drew" and less like "Anthony" basically. And I mean that as a compliment to both men, I see drew as a big, bulky monster and Anthony as looking ripped....both looking great. Would creatine be ideal for my goals?

Yes, taking creatine everyday will make you look identical to Drew. Careful though, too much of it will make people think you ARE Drew.
Edit: Sarcasm aside, eat more food and yes creatine helps.

Where have you read this? I'm interested to see.
But if true, also keeping your face clean + acne prevention products will also reduce them.

Does it make that much of a difference for someone who just wants to gain weight and not interested in bodybuilding?

That's personal experiences, just because one person got slight acne doesn't mean everyone will. Everyone's bodies are different and reacts to certain things different.

If you want to gain weight, then take a look at Cytosport's cytogainer and natural peanut butter.

So creatine is really only for people interested in bodybuilding rather than someone just wanting to gain weight?

No, it's for anyone looking to improve their athletic performance.

I have had the problem of cystic acne. not regular acne. This is not cause by not keepin your face clean bla blah blah. I had to do a second round of accutane after being competely fine. I highly correlate it to creatine because on this form and t-nation others have experienced the same thing.
